Madoff's AMEX Statement -

[GoneOffShore]

It's just so banal - http://www.scribd.com/doc/15027931/Bernies-Credit-Card-Statements

Got this from Flyer Talk.

7-11???? wtf?!

I'm going to go lie down.

[csziggy]

1. $168,000 worth of charges in one billing cycle!?!!!

Now *I* am going to go lie down!

[high density]

2. Not a lot of charges on Bernie's card

He's paying the $395 card fee and some sort of other $75 fee.

Ruth was definitely living the good life. $2000 charge at Georgio Armani's in Paris.
$18.21 to Netflix
Thousands in charitable contributions

3. Surprisingly generous tipper, I'll give him that much (over 20% in 2 cases...that's nice). nt

[Maru Kitteh]

10. It's easy to be generous with Monopoly money I suppose.

[pinniped]

13. There's one with a $1066.41 food/beverage bill and a $60.00 tip.

Didn't someone tell Andrew Madoff it was other people's money he was spending?

[Fuzz]

4. Lol, I've eaten at some of those restaurants.

5. 719,814 Membership rewards points available!

Woo! You can transfer those 1:1 to many airline rewards programs.

[proud patriot]

6. It cover's 14 people ,, not just Bernie

:shrug:

I wish I had a card some super duper rich person would cover when I really needed it .

Because I would want to keep it as long as possible , I think I would rarely use it .

[high density]

7. ok here is the best charge I found

Shana Madoff charged $935 to http://www.finra.org/AboutFINRA/index.htm">FINRA, probably to pay dues or something, and it's listed as "non-durable goods." A very appropriate expense classification if I've ever seen one.

9. The credit card companies tend to ascribe those "categories"

Bugs me... I buy office supplies and business equipment at Amazon all the time, but my card decides to call them all "recreation" -- if I could easily change them, I'd do it, but you have to go to a separate screen for each purchase and it's just annoying.

8. 7/19/08 Shell Oil, Cape May, NY - $2,355.00 - at a gas station?

Hmm.

On edit: That was under Frank Dipascali Jr's card, fwiw.

[supernova]

11. Yacht tank fill up?

[nilram]

12. of course, that would make sense.

[pinniped]

14. Someone dropped over 5k at the Montauk Yacht Club.

Surprisingly, someone only spent a few hundred at Tiffany and Co.

They also like Apple computers, having dropped almost 5k there on 3 occasions.

I take it his fellow scumbags won't be charged in this super scam.
